  abstract = {{T}he evolution of lianas has punctuated the history of land plants, with the angiosperm lineages representing the most recent stage of liana exploration. {T}he model of lianas as fast-growing, disturbance-loving plants emerges largely from the function of eudicot and magnoliid angiosperms. {T}his chapter looks at some specific properties of ecology and function, derived from functional aspects of stem hydraulics, which appear to be restricted to lianas. {I}t charts the broad picture of xylem structure and function of angiosperm lianescence framed by what is known about the comparative ecophysiologies of eudicot/magnoliid and monocot lianas from temperate/ tropical zones. {T}he chapter reviews the liana hydraulic paradigm illustrated by these angiosperm climbers. {F}inally, it explores how other climber lineages differ from generally accepted views about how lianas function hydraulically.},
